Keeping cool and dirty pool water

We’ve been having record breaking high temperatures the last week and this coming week it’s supposed to be even hotter. Of course most of the US is like this, so it’s no big surprise. We all have been trying to find ways to keep cool.

For me, it was a matter of keeping the pool clean. The pool and pool accessory place that I go t to has been running out of chemicals I need. One would think that being in that kind of business, these people would be up on the weather situation and the need for stocking more supplies.

Because4 of the heat, covering the pool at night, just is making algae form very fast on the walls and bottom of the pool. Tonight, I’m not going to cover it and just run the filter and pump all night. I’ll see how that works. A good skimming a few times a day will help also. So stay cool, my friends.

Submersible pump needed

With the weather has been super odd, all over America… I now wish I would have bought another submersible pump. Now, I used to have one before getting married. I had every tool and useful thing that every woman should have and know how to use. for fix it, clean it, cut it…the right tools. If one buys cheap, that is what you get, in my experience.  Just watch for your, “stuff” if things start to disappear if there is a man around.  My ” stuff ” started disappearing at a very fast pace. Needless to say, it ticked me off. I should have a “tool” and ” guy stuff belongings,”  pre nup.

Now, I need to buy another submersible pump. I know I had one. It was older, but a great brand. Best I ever have had. So I’m frantically looking for the pump, since the rain is flooding the crawl space. Finally after driving myself looney, full knowing I had that darn pump, my husband tells me it’s in our neighbors cellar. Actually, it’s a fall storm cellar under the ground. I guess last summer, my husband decided he was going to fix the storm cellar, but needed to pump the water out first. Something took him off this project and, guess where my pump was found. A year later. Not cool.

I’ll get off my soap box now, if I can step into a small row boat when I get off of it. Even the yard is flooded.
